do snakes increase the frequency of their sheds when they have damage to their skin, to speed up the healing process
my retic has some burn marks (not caused by me) and its eyes have gone blue. when i got it a week ago it had flaking dry skin from its previous shed all over it. its hard to tell how long ago the shed was but i would say within the last 3 weeks. 3 weeks between sheds doesn't seem long even for a young growing snake, if it is even that long.
